TravelFX now 1.1631

Up and down like a yo-yo. Will Theresa wear her leather trousers and send Trump into a frenzy of lust? We await developments...

OMG what a horrible thought :o

Slight improvement today! TravelFX up to 1.1684 - it's getting sensible.

It went up, it went down. It went up. It went down. The euro is a remarkably stable currency at the moment, despite pending elections.

My guess (only a guess) is that we're going to be generally in the 1.15 zones this year.

The euro is getting stronger every day. The pound weakens. TravelFX is 1.1431

Looks like we have to wait for a small bubble of optimism and buy when it's available. There's not much sign of it!

The exchange rate is back to where it was on 5th Feb. Ebbs and flows. A lot depends on what happens in France in May. If it goes the wrong way for the establishement the euro will crash and the pound surge. Keep an eye on Holland where the government are making moves to mitigate against Geert Wilders.

Meanwhile - the pound is sinking against all currencies. TravelFX now 1.1380

I think the motto is "Hang on and hope"

As the shambles of Brexit unfolds, it just gets worse. TravelFX now at 1.1248.

My prediction of 1.15 as a median is now looking optimistic.

TravelFX now 1.1452

This thing will go up and down like a yo yo for the foreseeable I reckon. Its just a question of when you buy the euros. Its ranged between 1.1975 and 1.1069 since Christmas with regular spikes in between. Obviously I prefer the former but I've bought at worse and better over the last 5 years.

Travel FX 1.1518 best for a while. 1.1681 actual rate. Strangely since brexit went live its started to creep up. Will it last. Who knows.
